Seej

1. Topple your opponent’s flags to win.
2. Players must agree on the models used in the battle.
3. Keep it friendly.
4. Show no mercy.

Seej is an Open Source tabletop wargame designed to advance the state of 3D printing through competition and player-directed evolution. Players print their own armaments and fortifications for use in battle. If you can print it, it’s legal to use in the game.

Good design, good engineering, and good luck are the three pillars upon which a Seej victory is built. Design your Seej engines well, for your opponents are busy forging superior fortifications in OpenSCAD and SketchUp.

Expanded Rules and Recommendations:

Players may not touch the enemy’s models. Projectiles must be launched from a siege engine: no throwing, dropping, spitting, or otherwise directly involving a human in the siege.

Once a projectile has been fired it’s considered out of play. Keep your unspent ammunition separate from the battlefield to avoid confusion. Play with a backstop to keep projectiles from getting lost.

In the event of a tie, pick up spent projectiles and use them to continue the game. First player to topple an opponent’s flag wins.

No flag may be placed more than 2 block lengths from the leading edge of your castle’s wall. This rule is to prevent smarty-pantses from hiding a flag behind a bookcase.

Strongly suggested: Castle walls should be made of interlocking blocks no larger than 5x3x3 cm. Blocks should fit together loosely enough to give the opponent a sporting chance of destroying a wall with a 10-penny bombardment. (See Core Rule #3.)

Seej engines can be picked up and moved anywhere behind the line created by the leading edge of your structure.

I printed a full 2-player set (2 catapults, 6 flags, 16 blocks) for a Chinese Auction giveaway. It received the 2nd highest number of tickets, and I had a few people ask me if I could print them a set…

Oh, excellent. My sister and I invented a game like this one christmas eve when we couldn’t sleep and had a lot of army men, rubber bands, and pencils. I believe I shall have to play this with my 10yo. (Todays homeschool lesson: you must print yourself an army, or I shall destroy you. MUAHAHAHA….)
